The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The talented multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan made a rare return to Chicago for this set, ... Switching between trumpet, flugelhorn, soprano and flute, Sullivan performs a couple of originals and four standards ... This is a more straight-ahead than usual program of music by the adventurous improviser".[4]
DownBeat gave the album 4.5 stars.[5] Reviewer Jack Sohmer wrote, "This is exceedingly accessible contemporary jazz that Sullivan plays, and it is music that accomplishes its purposes without benefit of the fusion cliches elsewhere so abundant".[5]
